My Published Work

My books are my pride and joy. My first two books (not pictured), Atlóta and My Blackberry were published by iUniverse, way back when the fee to self-publish was only $158. Also (not pictured) is a family memoir I self-published and distributed all 2-300 copies strictly to family. I've as well omitted a few self-published poetry books I've decided to retire. The books pictured above are my best work to date, all published by OSAAT Entertainment, the publishing company I founded 2008.

With the exception of Double Dare’s 2nd edition, all cover art, illustrations, and designs are my own. Copies can be obtained by contacting me directly. Below is a current list of work in circulation.

Funny thing about genuine women is they rarely say much when first meeting one. Oh, she’ll look me up and down, sizing me up I’m guessing, taking in most of what she thinks she sees before ever imparting any real piece of her mind. Gossip is just not her thing; mines neither, which is why when she unleashes one of them pearls of wisdom, Baby Look Out, I know this is a Woman Who Rocks!Genuine Women are as Compassionate as Passionate

Doesn’t mean she won’t make mistakes, do wrong, be wrong, get mad and have those bad days. We all have our hard days, ugly ways. Name a human who doesn't. And still, turning the dial back upbeat, I know one-hundred-ten percent a genuine woman’s words are not cheap.

before you get to clicking, here are my writing resolutions going into the New
Year.

I think Meg Waite Clayton, who takes time out of her very literate busy schedule to host this ball, must really see me over here toggling this and that. Seems like it never fails, just when I'm about to drop a ball, up pops Meg hosting a ball. Of course, and please know, I don't really believe this. I already know the blogger balls come highly requested by SHEWRITERS, but can't deny that I, too, love the timing of each one thrown.
With over $#!$# projects going, not inclusive of other dependabilities begging my attention, I tried to avoid putting up the old 'Away on Vacation' notice. And rather than explain any more of that here, let me jump right into blasting this small pep of encouragement for those steeped in the writing process, and to writers everywhere.
If you're starting to hear a little whining about the time you spend writing, and blogging, to this is what I have to say. "Write on Writers." To my family, and perhaps to those who've been…
